August 2025 Summer Thread

[Typhoon Tip]

Those cicada/'saw bugs' are out there deforesting already and it's not even 9am...    Heh, it 'sounds' like a hot day is in the mail.

I'm with Kevin, I don't see all that much Thursday, probably northwest and mostly northwest of our region...back more into NY like around Albany and into VT. Probably be a lot of isolated or scattered stuff, nothing widespread. 

Yeah maybe something more substantial early next week.

Some of the more notable high temperatures reported by ACIS for the Pine Tree State, include:

99 at the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians Tribal Soil and Climate Analysis Network station, 98 at Augusta State Airport and Dixfield, 97 at Fryeburg and Millinocket, and 96 at Bangor. Among co-coops reporting in the morning (attributed to the following day - i.e., today), Topsfield 2 reached 98 and Van Buren 2 topped out at 95. The 99F reading at the HBMI TSCAN site matches the highest temperature reported by ACIS for the month of August in the State of Maine since 2002. The last time it reached 99F (as per ACIS data) in the state of Maine during the month of August was on August 12, 2016 at Portland Jetport Airport. The last time it reached 100F+ was August 15, 2002, when it topped out at 101F at Livermore Falls 1 E. Fryeburg topped out at 100F on the day prior (August 14, 2002).

Above is a partial listing of all highs >92F for August 11, with all of the late reporting data below.

Yep, they've been quite loud the past week or so. Definitely giving those hot day vibes.

On another bug observation note....we still have deer flies buzzing around these parts. Granted not as many as June and early July, but usually they are completely gone by late July.  So running a couple weeks overtime at this point.

The well isn’t dry yet, but the pressure has been declining after laundry and watering the plants. Bring back the dews. 

Getting my well fracked on the 20th. Put a new pump in and expansion tank but recovery just isn't enough.

Still a few around here.  But far less

Lots of acorns dropping though.  Weird

Can they give you an estimate on what you will gain or is it a gamble?

[weatherwiz]

If anything the best chance for stuff is like late tomorrow afternoon/evening and overnight. 12z HRRR is pretty active late afternoon/early evening (looks like RRFS will be too). Regardless though should be a rapid weakening of activity with east extent.

Gorgeous day!  Nearly perfect summer

Another dewless hot summer day. Find water

My dews have gone above 70 three days running

[weatherwiz]

I guess sea-breeze boundary is something to watch for tomorrow. The HRRR has been dreadful this summer in terms of convection but I think it is onto something.

It's really remarkable. Been working in the shade mostly and it's almost pleasant. That's what low dew points will do for you. Negative heat indexes.

As long as you dry off quickly it's pretty comfortable. If the evaporative cooling gets going with these low dew points...brrrr

That’s gotta hurt.  Using the 1,000ft site and still losing.

I was away from the coast today, got a 97 reading, 89 here near the water.
